It is a Holden and could be from the HK, HT or HG series. The grilles are different, and there are detail engineering differences, but they are the same from behind.
Link here to the first HK and links there to the subsequent models. - Holden HK - Wikipedia

1920s Chrysler product, although specifically which one I don't know.

1926 – Cars parked in front of the beautiful Los Angeles Herald-Express Building. The Mediterranean/Churrigueresque structure was designed by Morgan, Walls & Clements and built in 1925 on Georgia St, between 12th and Pico, behind where the Staples Center (Crypto.com Arena) is now. It was demolished in the mid-to-late 1960s.

Sounds like this car had all of the Chrysler engineering features early. I'm surprised the description doesn't mention the number of cylinders.
Model 612 refers to six cylinders and 112" wheelbase. The Graham Brothers were an integral part of Dodge in the early 1920s, and on up until they sold their shareholding to buy the Paige company in 1927. This was before Dodge became part of Chrysler.

Have you tried googling the model number?

Borrowed from a facebook page. No information supplied. I am guessing those are Disteel wheels.

How many were built with right hand drive?

From an 'auto camping' facebook page. I think the sedan is a mid 1920s Overland Six.

Seen elsewhere labeled a 1912 Locomobile. Presumably stripped for a 'stock' car race?? Is that a movie camera the woman in the back is holding?

A close up and higher resolution shot of that chassis number plate would be useful. Also some dimensions - wheelbase etc. It looks to be 1950s British? A rear sway bar is not a common item.

Good morning, I have a '57 Studebaker Hawk (beautiful cars) and it has the 7 digit Serial Number. I am attempting to positively identify this car and not having lots of luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A suggestion that you post this as a new thread with an appropriate title.

Regal Model N outside the Forbes Hotel, Sydney 1913. It looks like a 1913 model with the longer dumb irons (108" wheelbase) but still using acetylene lighting.
I wonder if it's the world famous Regal SOS car?

The 'masked up' photos date from the big flu epidemic circa 1918-19.

California circa 1916. The car has hints of Oldsmobile about it but the outside brake lever might be a clue. photo a little distorted and I think the sloped windshield is a later modification.

nzcarnerd - If you have any, post a few pics of the roadster, I'd love to see it!!
Correction to my comment above about the survival of the 1931 President roadster - the actual figure is 53 known survivors. Provided by Stude guru Richard Quinn on a facebook post today.

It was imported from the US and first registered in NZ in 2011. The current owner bought it from the guy who imported it I believe. I have a GE cabriolet and have been meaning to get a shot of it, along with the Erskine (replica body) cabriolet which lives not too far from me, together with mine but have not yet done so. My cabriolet is one of two imported to NZ and at this stage the only known right-hand drive survivor.
I think there are only four known survivors of the Model 54 roadster - unlike the contemporary President roadster of which there are about 100(?).
The first pic was taken in 2012 at the International rally in Wanganui by Stephen Satherley - it is on Flickr. The other one I took in 2018, on a bright day where my camera makes it look a different shade of red.
Also added a couple of shots taken in 2018 when the engine was in the workshop where my son works. My son drove it briefly while it was there and said it is quite 'peppy', much more so than the older model like mine. It likely helps it probably weighs about 500 lb less than mine.

That was the end of this engine design.
Agreed. A neighbour has a 1931 Model 54 roadster and the engine is quite different, even though it is the same size - 205 cid. Manifolding swapped to the other side of the engine compared with the previous sixes.

Queensland, Australia, 1935. Trying to decide whether the car is a Hupmobile or a Graham - circa 1930-31.

From the facebook page 'Old Photos'. Car looks to be a very early Reo. Location not given.

Mechanically the 1930 Erskine is little different from the contemporary Studebakers. The owner of this one - the only known right hand drive two door sedan, has owned it for nearly 40 years and done a lot of miles in it. It sat in a shed for many years until he exhumed it in 1985. It has had a hard life in his hands and has now got a little tired and is in line for a rebuild. As I understand it 1930 was the last year for the engine design. It received a major redesign for 1931.

Labeled a 1910 Moline
Maybe a circa 1912-13 Nyberg? Thanks to Varun Coutinho for sourcing the photos.

Los Angeles 1928. The Cadillac is a few years old(?). I see an older Pierce-Arrow further back.
